I've lived in the area since 1992 so used to go to both of those malls back in the day. Not too much any more.
I have not been inside Sangertown in years, but I have been to Target a couple of times over the last 5 years or so. I go to Riverside to go to BJ's shopping club or to Bass Pro. If...
Shooting at Sangertown Square mall. In the video it looks like the other guy was moving away from the shooter when he drew his gun and started firing. Crazy.

Yes me too, I voted for Williams the last time, this time got to vote for Stefanik. It could not find the new/upcoming district maps, just the current maps. I'm sure they are out there, I just couldn't find it quickly.
I went to the Rome early voting location during my lunch hour, and the line (outside the building) was too long for me to be able to wait and get back to work on time. I may try again tonight as they are open until 8 tonight.
Edit: I found out later in the day that the Rome early voting...
Check with TRB's Guns up in Remsen, probably closest FFL to Holland Patent, and they are nice folks when I've been in there. Call ahead though as their hours can be irregular as I think they have other jobs.
I have a Bulldog vinyl "cell phone" holster that is similar to the SP but is oriented horizontally instead of vertically. Was cheap, but fits my needs for my morning dog walks. I got it for hot weather primarily when IWB is more difficult to conceal IMO. First time wearing it a guy who I used...
Nice to offer them up for free, but also keep in mind that you may be able to sell them to Mavis or on Craigslist, or if you're on Facebook you can sell on FB Marketplace. I've been selling a few items on Marketplace lately, seems to work out ok.
Here's a few more for the Oneida County list: Runnings in Rome, Tractor Supply in Rome, and today I went to Nora's Candy Shop in Rome and she has several signs: front door, in the entryway, on the wall next to the counter, behind the counter, maybe even more that I missed. She also has a Sig...
Sorry if they've been covered already, but I had occasion to visit Tractor Supply and Runnings in Rome yesterday and they both had signs permitting concealed carry.
Do you have one from Oriskany Arms? If yes, what are your thoughts? Thinking of ordering one some day, I like the locally manufactured "vibe" if you will since they are so close to where I live. Spoke with a salesman there once & he offered that I could go there and tour the place, and if I...
Yesterday I bought a 150 round range box of Federal 5.56 NATO at Utica Bass Pro for $100.00 + tax so about $0.66/round before tax which is pretty close to that chart. Better than $1.00/round I paid mail order a few months back. I also learned about Lake City - I had never seen cartridges...
Thanks for these links. The first one is broken but that site does indeed have some ammo in stock and ship anywhere in NY. Prices are high of course but at least it's a source.
I got to the Oneida county office building at 3:15 yesterday in hopes of adding my new sw22 but deputy who met me at the door said they close at 1 now. Albany fingerprint processing is currently shut down due to ppl out due to covid. I'll call Monday to try to verify their hours but deputies...
Thanks, good idea. I do remember seeing that in their installation video. I will pop the locking pin out and loosen it up and try reseating it gently and try again.
Whatchu talkin about willis? Gun shops around here (Utica/Rome area) are operating. I think they are limited hours and maybe curbside pickup, but advertising on FB guns & ammo for sale just about every day. AR lowers left & right and are being snapped up quickly. And then there's Runnings...
So took my few months old rifle out to the range yesterday, didn't get a round off due to not remembering how to load the compmag and rookie move of trying to manually feed a round into the chamber like I can with my pistols, ended up with a shell stuck up in the top of the upper somewhere that...
I think it's a good thing to have them on one another's permit, if something happens to either of you then the other doesn't have to deal with possible confiscation of any that aren't on the permit. I've got my wife convinced that's a good idea but she's dragging her feet about taking the...
I didn't catch it but some people are saying that when the father makes the comment about the police having a reason to be there the son had just said something about getting ready to do some illegal shit, and after father makes the cops comment the son says something about killing.

The link to the video posted on Facebook is below (Edit: scroll down the page in that link and the video is posted several times, it's sideways). It's long and not...
We have a travel trailer, & so far are booked for Fair Haven Beach SP for Memorial Day and Kring Point SP early June, and the Finger Lakes Beer Festival at Watkins Glen International in October. My wife's been to work functions at Fair Haven & we took a spin thru Kring a few years back but will...
For sale is a set of four (4) used Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 snow tires size P265/70R-18 mounted & balanced on ATX Storm aluminum wheels size 18" x 8.5" with bolt pattern 5 x 139 that were used on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. Bought these new in fall 2011 for $1400, so 8 winters on them but not a lot...
I'm referring to the lower receiver; are you saying Anderson lowers are crappy? That's not what I've heard/read. The gunsmith who is going to build my rifle suggested Anderson or Aero, said finish can be more consistent on Aero but either will do the job.
Thanks for all the info on this thread. Got a bonus from work so I've earmarked some of that toward my first AR rifle. Shopping for a lower receiver now, want to support a LGS if possible but Runnings (semi local at least) has Anderson priced $45 (similar to online), but unfortunately...
Some if not all of the guns are 25% off. I'm thinking of picking up a Savage A22 (regular model) which is now $187 & change. They have some larger rifles and some shotguns left too at the Rome store. Edit - adding in that I asked if they have a set closing date and the cashier said no, it's...
50% off ammo when I went to the Rome store today. Guns I think said 20% off, not sure. No 9mm ammo that I saw, I picked up some 380 speer gold dot for under $18 which compared to online is a good deal. I may go get more. They have a fair amount of 22 ammo too, short and LR but I think their...
Off topic but be careful if you drive down Rt. 26 in the winter, the ditch between my yard and Rt. 26 tends to suck in Fort Drum folks who aren't so used to driving in NY winters!
Sad news here in Rome, at least they were able to find her body and recovered a rifle he dumped in the canal.
Body believed to be Rome mother pulled from Ava landfill
Social media was buzzing yesterday trying to find out who the owner was of a dog some people found on the side of Rt 481. They had to put it down due to the extent of injuries. Well they found the owner apparently... I hope he gets what he deserves.
Syracuse man charged with shooting dog...
The DA was on the radio this morning discussing the case. At this point they are still investigating but so far they've been able to verify much of his story as truth. If they don't find any other holes in his story then it could very well be that the killings were justified. At this point he...
When my permit was issued (Oneida county) they told me do NOT leave my pistol in my vehicle, because if it's in my vehicle I do not have control of it. In other words the vehicle could get stolen, etc. Our issuing judge would not look too favorably on that.
I learned a lesson about cleaning my gun on the coffee table in the living room, and about not promptly replacing the cap on the Hoppe's #9 bottle. One sloppy move and I knocked the bottle over dripping some onto the carpet. So now we have Hoppe's #9 aromatherapy in the living room. Working...
Just so you know, when I read the title I thought you were referring to Bridgeport, NY area. Sounds like that's quite different than what you are looking for lol. You may want to edit your post title or repost to clarify...
Mine took just a few days less than 6 months from the time I got fingerprinted at the Sheriff's office to getting my approval letter. Decided pretty quickly on my first purchase & called for my appt. to pick up my permit which was scheduled 6 weeks out. Lady at the permit office was very nice...
Hi All,
I've been poking around this forum for a month or so. I get my Oneida County pistol permit next week & will be picking up my 380 & start learning & practicing. I plan on taking a "101" class and then some.
Since I got my approval letter I told my wife since we'll have handguns in the...
I didn't see a post related to this yet. Sucks, I've got family in the vicinity, but it can happen anywhere to anyone. Friggin' dirt bag!
UPDATE: Big Flats man shot, killed in home invasion
